5s for the Personal Computer
You work with documents, presentations,
graphics, and other files all day – and chances are,
you have a lot of them. Stop the file clutter by
managing your files more effectively. 5s concept
provides the foundation for all quality improvement
programs. It results to an increase of daily productivity
and better organization.
Step 1: Sort (Seiri)
Too many unused files and folders slow you
and your computer down. Remove or discard
what is not needed so that there are fewer
hazards and less clutter to interfere with work.
Only keep what is needed.

Step 2: Set In Order (Seiton)
There must be place for everything. Organize your files and folders to reduce clutter and allow for
instant access:

2) Create a folder system for organizing your work. Tips include:

Step 3: Shine (Seiso)

a. Clean your computer screen.
b. Clean the key board.
c. Clean all cables and ensure free from dust.
d. Clean computer main box.

2) Audit that you are saving files using the correct naming conventions, and that naming conventions
are being used in shared locations as well.
Step 4: Standardize (Seiketsu)
Develop consistency in practices over time.
Step 5: Sustain (Shitsuke)
Allocate 5 minutes a week to run through organization of your PC. Remember, 5 minutes can save the
effort you spend to search through unnecessary clutter! Studies show that you can use your computer
twice as efficiently if you organize it well!
POSTURE PERFECT
Ergonomics is the science of designing equipment for safe and
comfortable working environment.
When sitting in front of the computer, make sure that you are sitting in the
right way. If you slouch or sit too far away from the computer table, your
body will soon be in great pain.
Here are some things you need to remember to keep yourself safe
and comfortable when working on the computer.

https://www.merakildh.in/2020/02/correct-sitting-posture.html
1. Sit up straight. This will keep your shoulder and neck from getting stiff.
2. Place your feet flat on the floor. If your feet do not reach the floor, use a stable footrest.
3. Your elbows should be bent at a right angle at your side. This position allows your arms to be relaxed.
4. Make sure your monitor is right in front of you. It is best to sit about two feet away from the screen.
5. Look away from the computer every few minutes to rest your eyes. Blink a few times, do not let your
eyes get tired.
6. When working on the computer for a long time, take frequent short breaks. Wiggle your fingers, shake
your hands and stand up and stretch on your tiptoes.
7. Do not squeeze the mouse. Lay your hand gently on it. When moving the mouse, move your whole arm
and not just your hand.
8. Use an optical glass antiglare filter when needed.
